How it works

Ads, also known as Sponsored Listings, allow you to stand out to customers in your area by giving your restaurant prime real estate on DoorDash. Unlike ads on other platforms, they are pay-per-order. That means you’ll only be charged for orders placed through your ad — not for clicks or impressions.

On average, businesses earn $6 for every $1 spent on ads over one month, and more than 45% of orders generated from ads on DoorDash come from new customers.**

"Sponsored Listings are like getting a billboard on the big highway DoorDash has built."

Drive more sales with promotions 

Boost your ad by also running a promotion. When customers see your ad, a promotion will entice them to order from you. Restaurants on average grew sales by 1.7x*** when they ran a promotion and ad together on DoorDash, compared to just an ad.
